Procedure of Application
Development Complete When
The cyanoacrylate has absorbed the dye stain. Source of Error
Surfaces that absorb too much dye stain will fluoresce too brilliantly to be effective for photography. Incompatibilities
Items that inherently fluoresce in the 490 nm to 555 nm range will interfere with the dye stain fluorescence. Precautions
Avoid excess build-up of cyanoacrylate, since this may result in ridge detail depicting little contrast to the strongly fluorescent surface. Storage Container
Dark stoppered glass or plastic bottles. Safety
Use Ultra-violet protection goggles when working with long-wavelength ultra violet light sources. Fume hood use is required when preparing and applying the reagent. Recommendations
The recommended procedure of application is to immerse the item in a tray of the dye. A rinse using alcohol may be necessary to avoid excessive staining by the dye. Similar Reagent

Process Summary:
A mixture of fluorescent dye-stains used to enhance cyanoacrylate-developed latent prints. A fluorescent light source that will output light between 365 nm and 550 nm is required for this process.

Accepted Deviations:
The excitation wavelength may be varied to determine which produces the best fluorescence.
